United States Spends 5 Million on Nonsurgical Treatments in 2014

It’s no secret that the cosmetic industry is a widely successful one. While surgical cosmetic treatments are still popular, there has been a steep rise in nonsurgical cosmetic treatments over the last decade. The advancements in cosmetic laser and injectable technology has allowed for safer, more effective results with very little to no downtime. Recently, a JAMA Dermatology study stated that Botox, dermal fillers and laser treatments are some of the safest nonsurgical cosmetic procedures.

In 2014, the ASAPS stated that the United States alone spent over 5 million on nonsurgical cosmetic procedures (Botox, dermal fillers, laser treatments, skin rejuvenation, etc.). 40% of people in the U.S. were between the ages of 35-50 for these nonsurgical treatments. 32% were between 51-64. Most of these nonsurgical treatments last anywhere from roughly ten minutes (dermabrasion, tattoo removal) to two hours (depending on how large the area being treated is). Over half of these treatments require no downtime.

The national average, also reported by the ASAPS, for many of these nonsurgical procedures range from $100 – $3,000+. In most states, you do not have to be a medical professional to perform types of cosmetic laser treatments. You do, however, need to have some type of training. Those who enjoy the world of skin care can benefit from learning cosmetic laser treatments. Not only are the price points higher than, say, waxing or facials, but clients see a faster and more rejuvenated results.
